Your eyes are the window to the world. It's important that you take care of them. Eat lots of fruits and veggies! Carrots, loaded with beta carotene are especially helpful in maintaining healthy eyes. That's because beta carotene is an antioxidant that reduces the risk of macular degeneration.

About 25 years ago, I started suffering from World War III ransacking my gut. It was not only incredibly painful, but also extremely embarrassing. As soon as I’d eat (or even mid-way through a meal), I’d get horrendously bloated, have excruciating pain and have no idea what the culprit was. Often times whatever bomb that was exploding in my gut wa...

A few weeks ago, I received an upsetting phone call from one of the yoga studios for whom I had been teaching a few classes. My classes were being cut. I was stunned, hurt, angry and immediately began to question myself. Did the students not like me? Was I not a good teacher? Were people complaining? It’s so easy to go to that negative place where ...

About a month ago, I did an Aruyvedic cleanse. I was required to eat Kitchari every day since it has a ton of protein but it's so easy to digest. I spent time searching through recipes so I wouldn't get bored. Since then, It's become a staple in my diet this last month. It's something I look forward to not only eating, but cooking as well! It’s...

A few weeks ago, I received a private message on my Facebook Fan page :

It would be soooo helpful if you could offer helpf...

For the past twenty years, I’ve been extremely health conscious. I’ve been trying to cultivate an optimal vegan diet, pouring over labels, reading words I could not pronounce, in an attempt to make sure I was getting an adequate amount of protein and other essential nutrients into my diet. I took the time to plan all of my meals and added product...
